Ms. Huggins was knowledgeable, experienced, caring, communicative, and helpful. It was a pleasure meeting her!

Very accommodating and thorough
Dr. Schwartz has been AMAZING for supporting the physical and mental health of our daughters! ❤️
Dr. Huggins was wonderful during our visit. Although I knew she had a full schedule of patients, she was not in a hurry and I did not feel rushed in any way. She was thorough in her assessment, asked a lot of great questions, and helped me (as the mom!) feel at ease, while at the same time connecting with my son and engaging him in the process. At the end of the visit I felt great about outcome and next steps.
Mrs. Huggins was absolutely amazing! This was me and my 9year olds first time at Nova Pediatrics. she was very patient, engaging, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain what she was doing, why it was important, and how it will help in the long run to my son. This kind or care and service is hard to find. Thank you Grace
Always attentive to my sons beed can't thank her enough
I’ve enjoyed bringing my son here. I wish I would have found them earlier on in his life but I’m glad we are here now. Everyone from the from beginning to end is incredible.
Great
Grace is a wonderful healthcare provider! We have had two visits so far for our first and are incredibly impressed by the robust support and offerings that NOVA Pediatrics provides. Staff at both locations have been friendly, informative, and welcoming. Looking forward to many more years of being with NOVA Pediatrics for our child's healthcare needs!
It's such a shame that Grace is leaving the practice. She's such a good Pediatrician.
Dr. Schwartz is very thorough and asked detail questions. I was very happy and satisfied with the quality care received. Despite the kids overactive behavior during the visit. She was able to complete the examination and suggested objective opinion and advice on how to improve their diet and how to take care of my child with responsibility and discipline.
We are never disappointed in the care we receive from the doctors, nurses and staff!
Great
Friendly and easy to talk to
Just felt like that wasn’t the Doctor for my child
Grace is always super professional and warm. We love working with her.
Awesome service
Great listener and understands the root problem. Provides best recommendation to keep the child safe and healthy !
Always attentive, thorough, and listens to both child and parents.
Dr Huggins is great with our daughter and is always able to answer any questions we have.
Really appreciate how Grace is both thorough and efficient at the same time! We had to wait a little while for shots but Grace's aspect of the visit was super timely.
Grace Huggins is always warm and caring. I feel that she really listens and cares about my daughter's health. Would highly recommend!
My kid's feelings are comfortable with his doctor.
It was an awesome experience
Went great
Grace was very friendly and kind. She is knowledgeable and able to explain things easily. She has a great bedside manner and I was impressed with her ability to make my son feel comfortable! Highly recommend her!
My son is playful and easy going (compared to other experiences) with Huggins. Huggins pays close attention to his health and development matters, and provides helpful advise.
Doctors and nurses are doing well but the wait time was bit longer with a toddler.
Dr. Gina is great, she listened to my concerns and gave feedback without being judgemental and my child liked her too. Definitely would recommend her for all ages.
